Wrapping Text around Images in Wordperfect
With Wordperfect graphics are placed into your document within boxes. Wordperfect then gives you options that allow you to specify how the text in a document flows around the graphics box. For example, you can flow text through a graphic, around one or both sides of a graphics box, or around the image inside the graphics box.
To select how the text will wrap around a given image you must first Right-click the image, then select Wrap from the menu.
You can then select one of the following options in the Wrapping Type section:
- Square wraps the text around the edges of the graphics box
- Contour wraps the text around the outline of the image
- Neither Side wraps the text above and below the image but leaves the space either side of the image blank
- Behind Text places the image behind the text and runs the text over the image
- In Front Of Text places the image on top of the text and runs the text behind the image
If you choose square or contour then you will also need to select one of the following options in the Wrap Text Around section:
- Largest Side wraps the text along the side of the image with the longest dimension
- Left Side wraps the text along the left side of the image
- Right Side wraps the text along the right side of the image
- Both Sides wraps the text along both sides of the image
Once you have made your selection click on the OK button to apply your wrap selections to the graphic.
